Cassette Operation

Some Notes About Cassette Tapes

*It is not recommended to use any tape with a length longer than 90 minutes playing time. Longer tapes create excessive load on the tape motor and mechanism causing pre- mature wear and failures. Longer tapes have a tendency to tangle and jam automotive tape mechanisms.

*Cassette tape housings that are warped or that have loose indicator labels should not be used. Doing so will result in the tape becoming jammed in the mechanism.

*Storing cassette tapes in areas directly exposed to sunlight or high temperatures will cause the cassette cases to warp rendering them unusable. Store cassette tapes in a case designed specifically for that purpose. This will prevent warpage and foreign material cont- amination.

Periodic Tape Mechanism Cleaning

While the tape is playing, small deposits of foreign material attach themselves to the tape head, pinch rollers and capstans of the tape player mechanism. Failure to periodically clean the foreign material off will result in poor sound quality and a tape mechanism that will “eat” cassette tapes. To prevent this from happening, the use of a good quality “wet type” cas- sette head and capstan cleaner is rec- ommended every 10 hours of use.

FAILURE TO CLEAN THE TAPE DECK AT REASONABLE INTER- VALS WILL RESULT IN TAPE DECK SERVICE THAT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

How to Listen to a Tape

1.Turn the vehicles ignition key to the ON or ACC position to provide power to the radio.

2.Rotate knob (1) clockwise to turn on the unit. Adjust the volume knob (1) to a low listening level.

3.Insert a cassette tape into the the cassette opening (10) with the thick side pointing toward the right

Note: The cassette tape will only fit in one direction. If the tape does not insert easily, DO NOT FORCE IT. Turn the tape over and re- insert it. At this time the display

(9)will be showing the tape play indicators (9e)

4.Adjust the volume, bass and treble controls to suit your taste.

Changing the Tape Program

Cassette tapes have two playing sides, side (A) and side (B). The cassette player in this unit will play either side of the tape. If you wish to change play from side (A) to side (B) or vise versa, press and release the FF and REW buttons at the same time. The tape play indicator (9E) will show the new direction and the tape will begin to play.

Note: If the tape is allowed to run to the end of the side that is playing , it will automatically change over to the remining side and play.
